أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، وَأَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْمُخَابَرَةِ وَالْمُزَابَنَةِ وَالْمُحَاقَلَةِ وَبَيْعِ الثَّمَرِ حَتَّى يُطْعَمَ إِلاَّ الْعَرَايَا . تَابَعَهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ.
Qutaybah reported to us: al-Mufaddal narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, from ʿAtaʾ and Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, that the Prophet ﷺ forbade mukhabarah, muzabanah, muhaqalah, and selling fruit before it was fit to eat, except for araya sales. Yunus ibn ʿUbayd corroborated him.
Translation notes
Mukhabarah and muhaqalah are forms of crop or land exchange; muzabanah exchanges fruit still on trees for measured dried fruit. Araya are a limited exception in certain date-fruit sales.
